Nashville here we come!

Our family is moving to Spring Hill, Tennessee and we are so excited!!! Spring Hill is located just south of Nashville/Franklin. 

My sweet husband has been the cause of many of our moves over the years. He is a wonderful pastor and has several times been asked to move in order to help a church in need. Each move has always been a wonderful time of learning and growth for us- including for our children.

Recently, we were talking and thinking about our future plans. We began to talk about wouldn't it be nice to move to a place we want to stay, to put down roots. It began to grow in our hearts and minds. As we talked to overseers in our church affiliations - we heard things like -we can send you to another church - mentioning several cities and situations. But we just kept thinking -no- none of those are right. We began to pray -where does God want us - where do we want to be? Where could we plant a life giving church where there was truly a need? We started talking about Tennessee. It's the place we feel most at home. But we wanted it to be for a purpose. We could go back to Memphis but there are great churches there. Then we thought of the Nashville area, we love it there. There are great churches there too.  We looked on a map and began researching north and south of Nashville. Before long we were more and more drawn to Spring Hill.  We went down and scouted out the land.  Spring Hill started  to stand out to us. Great family community. Just south of the beautiful Franklin area. It turns out Spring Hill is the 14th fasting growing city in the nation.  So guess what that means- they need more churches.  We began to truly get excited about planting a new church. 

So after much prayer and planning. We are moving from Holland, Michigan, which we have loved -minus the freezing cold 9 months of winter, it is truly so beautiful and the people here are wonderful (they almost seem southern :-).  We'll be settling into Spring Hill this summer. I'll start up my new interior design business. And we will begin gathering a launch team for our new church, which will begin in February 2016.  

So if you live in the Spring Hill area (I'll service the Nashville metro area) and need an interior designer - OR if you would like to know more about our church plant, please feel free to email me or give me a call.  The church will be called Summit Church and you should be able to Google it sometime in July.

I love new beginning and all that God has in store.
